I loved the first DJ Hero. I never thought pretending to spin some of the greatest old school hiphop tracks with DJ Hero's turntable would work so well. I like the DJ Hero gameplay better than Guitar Hero / Rock Band.
DJ Hero 2 works on DJ Hero 1 turntables and adds a few improvements such as scratch freestyle and better use of samples to mix in.
The only slight negative for me was the song list. It replaces the old school stuff and famous dj mixes with newer artists like Drake and Soulja Boy.
Taste in music is a subjective thing though. If you like the songs, buy the game and have some fun.

Cool, new difficult features. Has a karaoke mode but I can't use it because of feedback issues.

Single player is enjoyable as the track list is pretty good. But party mode is where this game really shines.

I have little to say about DJ Hero 2 game play but the price of the game. Apparently one would have thought that it is cheap to buy the game during thanks giving for $4.99 (almost $8 if included shipping and tax). The price doesn't hit the bottom yet as it is now $3.99.

This is the sequel to the first DJ Hero. I will say the music list was updated and different music was added. Hopefully there is some free content for additional songs that are current and new.
